Tips on how to achieve these effects

[Mylenium]

First one starts at 0.06 and ends at 0.09. You can see the kite in the air is kind of leaving a trail.

Effect --> Time --> Echo


Second one stats at 2:25 and goes to 2:28. You can see the clip pause, then the viewing angle morph round with the background blurred and then the video continues at a different angle.

Time Remapping with a decent plugin like Twixtor, not AE's own tools plus some sort of morphing, I'd say. Certainly requires at least 2 cameras.

is there a tutorial on how to do morphing with 2 cameras?

or would u be able to explain a bit further?

thanks a lot...

im looking to shoot something similar with a golfer. where he upswings (cranks back the club) we freeze pan around 45° as he downswings, hits the ball.

how should i set this up if i have total control over it. and 5 months to do it.

waouh, 5 months ?

Go for a camera mapping, then.

as he said, 2 cameras filming the same scene at the same time with a different angle. make a simple model of the golfer, camera map that golfer make a transition, and here you are, perfect transition.

If you don't know how to use 3d programs and camera mapping.... well forget about what I said ^^

hmm...why would i have to make a model of the golfer?

can u explain this a little clearer with the camera mapping...

the most camera mapping i have done is the vanishing point in photoshop/after effects

but i do have 5 months to learn this....

[Shinjipierre]

well, camera mapping means that you map 3d models using a camera.

vanishing point is just a really simple camera mapping.

In a "real" camera mapping, one has to model the scenery (and characters) using the 2 original cams in any 3d prog of your choice, be it 3dsmax, maya, xsi (damn autodesk) or blender...

When the models are made and that they match the 2 cameras, one projects the image as a texture though the 2 cameras. That way you have a 3d scene that has the textures of the cam...

finally, one would just have to make a transition between these two cameras...

Bah, I work in BUF and can't even explain this simply, ahahah

here's a simple exemple with just a picture :
